That was the feeling he got facing everyone here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 5s of the second year. These people were cream of the crop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Imperial Defense Academy, an average cadet would join at level 2, advance into Level 3 in their second year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they would push through the hard bottleneck and advance to level 4 in their third year. They would graduate as a Level 4 and enlist in the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They joined the academy at Level 3. They would advance into Level 4 by the end of the first year and break into Level 5 by the end of the second year. In the third year, they'll make the leap of breaking into Level 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of these could break through into Level 7. There was a chasm between Level 6 and Level 7 similar to between Level 3 and Level 4, except wider and harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took years for a Level 6 to overcome their bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Genius is not the end of the story.' Varian thought as he walked into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles Xander was a Level 6 by the end of his second year. This was a guy who surpassed the definition of genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, advancing into Level 7 was another matter. Even Charles Xander was projected to take at least two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But can you really judge him by conventional methods?' Varian was a bit worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrival attracted the attention of some seniors. Some raised their eyebrow in displeasure and others straight out ignored him after sensing his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few, however, approached him with a menacing look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were some of the weakest auras in the room but to Varian; they were still countless times stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fucker, do you think this is a place for the likes of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you climb this floor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the world never lacked arrogant young masters, who, despite reading countless novels and watching countless dramas, tried to satiate their fragile self worth by stepping on people weaker than them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them even went as far as to say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know who my grandpa is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait a second! What does your grandpa got to do with this? Is he the security guard to fifth floor or something?' Varian had the urge to retort but controlled himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he opened his comm and projected the team's invitation details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Team Name: Siarah\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members: 5\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invited: Varian}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the four seniors sucked in cold breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plop\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plop\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, they kneeled without hesitation and begged:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, I have eyes but can't see Mt. tai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I deserve death, but I beg you to spare me. I have old parents at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have three kids. The third one is still in my wife's belly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please spare my life. I will call you grandpa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What the fuck! Are they crazy or did I come to the wrong place?!' Varian distanced himself from these maniacs and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the opposite of the holograms, there were exquisite tables. His comm pointed the direction, and he approached one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were four people sitting around a blue table. There were two men and two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Eh? Who are they waiting for?' Varian didn't think it was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi. I'm Varian. Thank you for the opportunity. I'll contribute my best.\" He introduced himself and gave a light bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man with red hair was browsing his comm, glanced at him for a moment and then ignored him. The other male, a hunky one, waved his hand and said perfunctorily, \"Yeah. Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petite female of the group ignored him. The young woman in the team with brown hair smiled at him and said, \"Sit. We're waiting for the captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gave her a polite smile and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The encounter was really awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Next time, I'll just do missions on my own.' He thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the four and saw they were all busy with their comms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was observing the duels of some powerful awakeners and studying. Other was reading a bundled online book about Abyssals. The remaining two were checking out the latest records of some \"Treasure Ranking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't bother them and instead checked the mission details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Abyssal Traces:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyssals have used Cross Tunneling 2,300 times in the past month and entered many Low Dungeons on earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were able to conceal themselves for reasons we do not know. But with more and more Abyssals entering the Dungeon, the more dangerous it is for the adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyssals are particularly targeting geniuses. Until now, there have 302...303 deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Find out where and how the Abyssals are hiding.}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death count was updated in real time and was climbing every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian recalled the words of the Inspector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There are rumors that cadets of Imperial Defense Academy will be sent to look into this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But Level 5s? Isn't that an overkill?' he wondered and continued to check the mission details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Minimum Mp: 3000\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extra Mp rewarded based on the intel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target: Virgin Dungeon.}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss\" Varian was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virgin Dungeon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled his near death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have a strong feeling that it won't be good.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey junior, I'll call you Varian,\" the brunette said and continued. \"This mission might look easy, but the enemies are at all on Level 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, you won't be of any help and will instead be a burden. But since Captain owes someone a favor, she is letting you in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Follow what we say. Help us with trivial tasks. Make the most of this experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was uncomfortable initially, but realized she was only being honest. There was no contempt in her tone and she said things as they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't cause you trouble.\" He thought for a moment and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am weak now, but not for long.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She checked her comm and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's go. Captain said she will directly come to the mission location.\" She said, and they exited the mission hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They boarded a star treasure hover car, which was much faster than usual hover cars, and in a few minutes, Varian found himself in front of the familiar dungeon gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except this time, the Dungeon was far more strictly guarded. Varian even felt auras as strong as Level 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal gate covered with inscriptions. The gate that nearly took his life, but also gave him a new one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath. This time, he was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\" A cold and commanding voice said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian turned around to see the Sarah, Senior Sister of that day in her combat uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>",1144,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f05e63a7a329325a8fee3ab02869be3683262bbb3fa010c21545f108d9fa846","divine-path-system-chapter-411","divine-path-system-chapter-410",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
